Subject: Holiday Letter To Boss.

Dear Mr. Raj Lalit,

As you have already received my official marriage invitation card and I had spoken to you yesterday that I need a two-week leave from office for my wedding, I would like to take this opportunity and request you to grant me leave for two weeks from next Monday, i.e. DD/MM/YYYY. My wedding ceremony begins from the DD/MM/YYYY and ends on the DD/MM/YYYY. All the relatives are arriving soon, and my family needs me to help them make the required arrangements for everyone to make them feel comfortable. Also, I would like to spend some time with them as we hardly meet once or twice a year.

During my absence, I have appointed Mr. Rahul Shah to take over my tasks, and he has agreed to do the needful. Before the leave, I will make sure that there is no confusion or misunderstanding for him when I am away for my wedding. I will resume working from the DD/MM/YYYY. Kindly take my request into consideration and grant me leave. Also, I hope to see you at my wedding.
